Churros & Chocolate Sauce

The best churro I have ever had was in 2004 in Disneyland. Oh man, it was delicious. Sure it was $5 bucks but I still remember it and 8 years later I am blogging about it. Since Disneyland is no where in my foreseeable future, I had to take things into my own hands, well, kitchen and fry me up so churros! This easy recipe is dangerous because you are bringing addicting churros into your home and with chocolate sauce…good idea or bad idea?
Delicious Rating: Good idea if you have self control! I don’t but they were still delicious. All the ingredients you need are probably in your kitchen right now. The house fills with the wonderful aroma of fried sweet dough, yum! I love chocolate sauce on its own but dipping churros in it is the frosting on the cake. Leave a comment and let me know the best churro you have ever had!
